This is a good discussion to have.  The site proposal on Meta is intended to establish a starting point; communities can and should further develop things.  The top-voted [answer](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/74852/275836#answer-275836) on the proposal includes this:

> The idea would be to include all games that are "role-playing" in style, with the main criterion that it be human-mediated as to what happens next in the story. If the mediation is a group effort (as in "GM-less" RPGs) that would be fine, as long as it's not strictly rules-based (as in a board or card game). All mediums of RPGs would be welcome, including face-to-face tabletop, online virtual tabletop (VTT), play-by-post, play-by-chat, and Live-Action Role Playing (LARP). [LARPs might be a bit tricky as I'm not sure we'll have the expertise around to start, but anything clearly RPG-inspired with human-mediated storytelling should be fine to try asking.]

This says to me that there's some interest in LARPs and some recognition that some guidelines need to be established.  So yes, let's discuss that.  LARPs involve role-playing to varying extents and have rules systems, some probably more formal and some less so.  Let's figure out what fits.  (I've never LARPed but I've done some True Dungeon adventures; does that count?)
